Newest Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen is going from a team 13-games under .500 to a team that is tied for the top NL Wild Card spot. The transition from the woeful Detroit Tigers to the defending National League champions isn’t lost on the 31-year-old pitcher. He’s excited for the opportunity to play in the City of Brotherly Love.
“The Phillies are a good team, really good team. I played with quite a few of them when I was younger and so it’ll be fun to play with them again. It’s going to be exciting. Good atmosphere, good city. Yeah, I’m excited for the opportunity.”
